A must see attraction that all ages can enjoy. Burning mountain is one of only three underground naturally burning coal seams in the world. The slowly burning coal seam is believed to be 30m under the surface and evidence of it’s affect on the landscape can be seen on the surface. Located just 20 km north of Scone, a guided walking track leads you from the car park to the viewing platform at the top of Burning Mountain for a safe vantage point to view the exhaust vents and rock. The walk takes approximately an hour and a half to complete and is signposted with information panels about the history of the mountain.  Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy at the picnic facilities provided at the reserve.
